Paragraph 4 Proceedings of Committee

No business shall be transacted at any meeting of the Committee unless at least seven of its members are present, of whom at least one is appointed from among persons who are neither Council members nor employees of the City.

The City may apply to the proceedings and place of meeting of the Committee any standing orders to which the proceedings and place of meeting of other committees of the City are subject but, subject to any such application and the provisions of this Schedule, Part VI of Schedule 12 to the 1972 Act (except paragraph 45) shall apply to meetings and proceedings of the Committee as if the Committee were a committee of a local authority.

The Committee shall elect a chairman from among those of its members who are Council members and may, if it thinks fit, appoint one of its members to be deputy chairman.

The chairman shall, unless he resigns or becomes disqualified, continue in office until his successor becomes entitled to act as chairman.
